I'm Joss

Art direction | creative design | concept design | Available now!

Hey there! Growing up between Orange County, Costa Rica, and West Palm Beach shaped my sunny, easygoing disposition. People often say I’m easy to work with, I bring a relaxed, chill energy to projects that helps teams collaborate comfortably and creatively. But don’t let the laid-back vibe fool you. When it’s time to work, I’m fully locked in. I thrive under tight deadlines and genuinely enjoy tackling creative challenges head-on.

I’ve also had the chance to live all over the U.S., which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures, communities, and—let’s be honest—food. From South Florida (ropa vieja forever), to Savannah, GA (southern food supremacy), Kansas City’s legendary BBQ scene, Colorado’s granola-loving outdoorsy crowd, and Los Angeles, where tacos are basically a lifestyle. Each place has influenced how I see the world and how I approach creative work—with curiosity, adaptability, and a strong sense of flavor.

I’ve gone remote since 2020! Some of the places I've worked have been at: Concept Arts Inc, Workhuman, Havas NY, Stern Advertising, VML, CP+B, Paula Deen (yes, the butter lady) and many more!

I've worked on 360 campaigns, branding, social media, pitches, and one-off projects. I equally excel in ideation and production/design processes no matter the subject.

I have an MFA in Advertising from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) where I studied under my bestie, Luke Sullivan (Author of "Hey Whipple, Squeeze This"). And a BA in Digital Media from the University of Central Florida (UCF).

These days you can find me hiking with my tiny 16-year-old chihuahua, eating reaalllyy slow (yes, that’s my thing), and collecting plants around the house. After work, I like to do weight lifting, yoga, cardio, and dancing. I also travel to Costa Rica to visit family.
